Hi, Student pilot here, self-teaching using the Jeppensen Private Pilot Kit after taking ground school. :D I read in the book that combustion "creates" energy, which is technically not true, but I decided to ignore it since the pictures are sooo pretty. Now, in Chapter 3, section about airfoils,...

Even though I live 20 minutes from HFD, I missed the show! I saw the outside display Friday morning, but due to other commitments, never got to the Convention Center. Last minute changes to my schedule even caused me to miss my type club's lunch Friday afternoon. I wasn't able to put together...

Recently I was at a local airport talking to some pilots. One of them (obviously a real pilot) said that doing a simulator with a force feedback joystick and then flying a plane made for a smooth transition. I'm not a pilot so I didn't argue with that, but I was thinking "huh?" Isn't the...

I'm thinking of buying an airplane. How can I ensure that there are no leins or money owed on the airplane and that the title is completely clear? I've checked the FAA database and the registerd owner is the vender,but I want to be careful. How do I go about this?

It seems that we have a new troll in our midst. Getting people engaged in arguments or in hair splitting contests is like crack for a troll. If we stop providing troll crack, the troll(s) will go elsewhere. So how about everyone try and ignore the latest idiot and let's talk about something...
